If you are suffering from a yeast infection and *****ly active, you might need to cut out sex for a little while. Sex can transmit yeast infections from one partner to the other, and the activity can also make your yeast infection worse. Stop the act until you are able to receive a full treatment and cure your infection.

Avoid wearing clothes that contain synthetic fibers. Clothes made from these type of fibers usually prevent air from circulating and cause heat and moisture to be trapped against your skin. This can lead to the development of a yeast infection. Always check the label of the clothes you buy, especially on your underwear, and avoid synthetic fibers.

Always watch where you're wiping. Any time you use the bathroom, but especially after a bowel movement, it is important to remember to wipe from front to back instead of back to front. If you wipe from back to front, you risk transferring yeast and fecal bacteria to your vagina, which can cause infections.

Wearing underwear of a clean cotton variety can help prevent yeast infections. Cotton will absorb the humidity and won't irritate skin like the other fabrics can. If yeast infections are an ongoing issue, you need to get a different type of underwear. When the extra humidity is too much for the cotton alone, some extra napkins really assist in absorbing the excess.

Make sure that the pants that you wear are loose fitting. You want to allow as much air in your crotch area as possible. The tighter your pants are, the less air will get to the area. Do what you can to keep this part of your body cool, dry and aired out.
